Say what???

Watch on Deadline

But backtoOscars.

All that is good enough for me to start the speculation.

CinemaCon 2024

No rest for the weary.

Thats whereFury Roadracked up 10 nominations including Best Picture and Director, and took six crafts wins.

Two more still-unfilmed parts are also planned.

Does it have Oscar potential?

It also seems ripe for some more Oscar love, based on what I saw.

Universalis coming off an almost impossible feat last year of beingNo.

1 worldwide at the box officeand alsosweeping the Oscars withOppenheimer.How do you followthat?

So, alaLord of the Ringstrilogy, will they want to wait?

Lots of potential for this one.

I am told by at least one Focus executive that the film is even better than the footage indicates.

Focus also has the Christmas Day release of the latest gothic telling ofNosferatufrom director Robert Eggers.

Itlooks appropriately gory to the extreme, but also intriguing.

Production values look lush, something Oscar voters love.

The film lost its December release date and Oscar campaign and then moved to Focus.

A June release will tell ifThe Bikeriderscan revive any awards mojo.

It looked amazing, and Scott (on tape) said it might even be better than the first.

Over atDisney, it looks like the most realistic Oscar hopes might lie also with sequels,animatedsequels.

They have hopes forMoana 2as well, and eventrotted out star Dwayne Johnsonto pump up the crowd.

It is terrific and could be a sleeper this season.

That looks like one to look out for.

Given half a chance they just might find some awards love in that one.

Coppola and Cannes go together.

I cant wait to see this one there.

It stars Jeremy Strong as Cohn and Sebastian Stan as Trump.

That one from Iranian director Ali Abbasi will undoubtedly be a must-see no matter your politics.

From CinemaCon to Cannes, let the season begin!
